LOVE GOOD FOOD? HELP US GROW YOUNG
FARMERS!
We need a new generation of young farmers. Many current
farmers are near retirement age, and that puts the future of the farm-to-fork
food you love at risk.
FamilyFarmed is addressing this critical
issue with our Help Us Grow Young Farmers! campaign. Make your tax-deductible
donation today, and help us help farmers succeed at selling through farmers markets, CSAs, farm stands and other direct
marketing venues.
Your dollars will enable our non-profit
organization to build out our new Direct Market Success program. This includes an
essential manual on business planning, production, handling, food safety and
selling for farmers in direct marketing. And it includes a program to provide
thousands of farmers with invaluable training to help them succeed.
Here is why you should trust FamilyFarmed
to make this program work: We have done it before. Our long-running Wholesale
Success program has trained more than 7,000 farmers in 35 states to succeed
selling into wholesale food markets.
Both the Direct Market Success manual and the associated training program
are modeled closely after Wholesale Success.
